An original Georgia Peach, Chelle
Ramsey is a fiction author, writing stories to encourage,

empower, entertain and
strengthen readers. Many of her stories are based in her birthplace of Atlanta
or her husband’s hometown of Cincinnati, where readers can relate to local hot
spots and events. She wants her readers (women and men) to become empowered to
rise above adversity, with faith in God, and belief in themselves.

Chelle holds an MBA in Human Resource Management,
which she puts to use in her property management role by day, while she writes
her fiction novels by night. Her most important roles are those of a wife
and mother of three.

During her “me time,” she loves listening to music, and becomes
enraptured with the enthralling stories of Terry McMillan, and Nora Roberts.
She especially relishes trying to solve the engaging mysteries of James
Patterson and Stuart Woods, while eating a bowl of her favorite butter pecan
ice cream. Chelle resides in a rural community of Atlanta, GA and
enjoys writing, family time, and watching NBA games with her husband.

Olivia believes she can
have it all.A successful business and a

birth of her child may lead to the death of her marriage.

One test has the power to
determine the truth. One test will change their lives forever.

Deception will bring
separation, and destiny will mend two broken hearts. And in the end, everyone
must work together to create a beautiful blend.

EXCERPT

Carlos pulled her tight
in his arms that night and kissed her down her neck and back. She lay in bed
pretending to be asleep. How did she find herself in this mess? She loved her
husband, but longed to be with another man. Because the other man knew how to
appreciate her and make her feel desired.

Beyond that she was too
much of a coward to tell Carlos the truth. She knew that he would be hurt and
angry. She didn’t want to face his rage.

“Nikki,” he called out
to her shaking her arm. When she didn’t move, he shook her again. “Nikki,
baby,” he called once again.

She knew he wouldn’t
stop until she woke up. “Hmm?”

“Come here,” he said,
turning her around to face him. Carlos untied the ribbon on her night gown
releasing her breasts. His calloused fingers roughly caressed her full breasts.
They had grown so big and round since she had become pregnant. He lowered his
lips to one of her puckered nipples and took it in his mouth. Nikki felt her
body responding to her husband’s touch and his mouth.

Carlos pulled away and
looked into her face. “I love you, Nikki. I’m gonna take good care of you now
and after this baby come. But baby, don’t keep pushing me away. Please, baby,
I’m trying,” he said.

The lovemaking she
shared with her husband that night was filled with passion fueled by guilt.

When Nikki awoke the
next morning, Carlos had already left for work. She called her mother.
